2023 BMW M3 Competition xDrive

A 2023 BMW M3 Competition xDrive in Black with extended Merino bicolour leather in Black-Silverstone — a well-specified example with just under 26,000 miles on the clock. The xDrive all-wheel-drive system sets this apart from the rear-driven standard M3 Competition, offering notably better traction without dulling the driving experience. Key factory options include the Technology Plus Pack with adaptive cruise control and 360-degree cameras, the Visibility Pack bringing laser headlights, and forged 825 M Double Spoke wheels in the staggered 19/20-inch bicolour black finish.

The Comfort Pack, heated steering wheel, drive recorder, and Parking Assistant Plus round out a comprehensive specification that covers both daily usability and longer journeys. At 503 bhp from the S58 twin-turbo straight-six, the Competition xDrive delivers its power through an eight-speed Steptronic automatic to all four wheels, with BMW quoting a 3.4-second 0-62 time for this drivetrain configuration.

Finished in a restrained Black-on-Black/Silverstone combination, this is the sort of M3 spec that ages well and appeals broadly. One to consider for anyone wanting genuine supercar-rivalling performance in a practical four-door package.
